Prediction: Grace will win their division AGAIN because they play harder teams in the beginning of the year.

 

I hate when people slam Single A teams for losing to AA and AAA schools. Good for them for playing a hard schedule.

 

I agree, Grace will probably win their district again. Who's in their district? Nobody. Who they play at the beginning of the year is irrelavent because their district is terrible.

 

No one is slamming Grace for playing up, but they need to be realistic. What do you gain by playing teams that run rule you almost every game?

 

Play up against the teams in Lookout Valley's tournament. Strive to get to where those teams have gotten in Class A. That makes much more sense.

That's my point ... we (single A schools) play up to make us better. Oh and yes we (temple) are better at basketball and I'm not going to be sorry for that. hehe

Your getting you eyes beat out and now you dont wanna play up /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> it goes with the territory lol. What are you doing when your getting beat 15-0 it doesnt make you better in nothing but losing.

So what do you do when you play a bunch of schools you can run rule instead and then get to region, district, and sub state and end up playing those type of schools Grace is playing now? Think about it, Grace has a great chance making it to sub as two team get to go. Why not prepare yourself for that kind of competition instead of scheduling teams that you can run rule all the time?

I just want to put out there that Independence High School took home the trophy this year with an impressive day on Saturday. There were two teams froms the same district in Williamson Co. that played for the championship (Brentwood and Independence), which goes to show how tough that district truly is. I hope this opens up some eyes to what the Eagles are capable of this upcoming year. They are 9-1 going into district play and playing very well.

      Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Summit22 · Posted

      Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2.

      It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
